    Half-century of service celebratedu by Ayla Miller

    Fifty years of broken sleep, and dropping everything the moment the siren goes off hasnt been easy for Dargaville volunteer firefighter Gary Murdoch, but the desire to help others and a devotion to his hometown has kept him going through good times and bad.

    Now family, friends, fellow firefighters and distinguished guests from the extended Northland fire brigade community have celebrated Mr Murdochs remarkable achievement, which earnt him a double gold star, as a variety of awards were made to

    brigade members at the stations honours evening.

    On December 10, 1956, 18-year-old Gary, also affectionately known as Maggot, joined the brigade straight out of the army. Attracted to the military style with which the organisation is

    run and the comradeship, he went on to serve for 50 years apart from a nine-year break.

    They were hard men and the gear and trucks were very primitive, Mr Murdoch said of the early days.

    Riding for funds

    Surplus funds help brigade

    p It was a wet day at the sixth annual Pouto Horse Sports event held at Steve and Kath Nathans farm but organiser Kath said the competitors still had an action packed day. The event was sponsored by Tropex Exports who donate $5,000 for prize money including spot prizes and competitions like the best wheel stand and most persistence. We did have to cancel a few events for safety reasons but the hardiest of riders took to the arena and had a fantastic time, mud and all, said Kath

    p There were 697 riders in the sixth annual Tangiteroria school bike trail which was 35 kilometres long on the main track with a separate track for the junior riders and a small flat track for the littlies. Riders came in their droves from all over the place. It was a very successful day for the school and we are quite positive that the funds raised will be enough to finish the renovation of the school field project. This is very exciting for the children, said co-organiser Helen Dackers.

    p Former county and town clerk Trevor Donald presents Fire Brigade station officer Jason Campbell with a cheque made up of the remaining funds from the recent Hobson County and Dargaville Borough Council reunion. We chose to donate it to the Fire Brigade as a thank you for all the work they do, said Mr Donald. The money will be used to purchase operational equipment and Mr Campbell said the brigade are very grateful for donations like these. Without them we couldnt do what we do.

    Farmers quizFonterra candidatesCandidates for the Fonterra Board will face some tough questions from local farmers when the Director Candidate Roadshow is in Whangarei this Friday, November 13 at 10.30am.

    This year six candidates are vying for three seats on the board. They are Murray Beach, Greg Maughan, Blue Read, Nicola Shadbolt, Ashley Waugh, and John Wilson.

    The roadshow is a great opportunity for Fonterra farmers to meet, question and listen to the contenders for the co-ops top table before they cast their votes in the 2015 fonterra elections, said local shareholders councillor, Penny Smart.

    As shareholders we have a responsibility to understand governance and the qualities required of a Fonterra director, and to use this knowledge to elect to our board the candidates who have these attributes.

    The roadshow is one of the tools provided to shareholders and gives them a platform to ask the candidates some robust questions about their governance ability and

    experience, and how this will translate into driving our co-op forward. Penny said additional information such as the candidate assessment panels results profiles were sent to shareholders with their voting papers.

    Dargaville chief fire officer Jeffrey Palmer said the brigade is extremely lucky to have Mr Murdoch.

    He comes to the station on most days cleaning, working behind the bar, and organising money. He still turns up every time the siren goes off when he can to make sure car doors are locked and windows are closed.

    I can ask him for advice, direction and guidance. He is a mentor and a legend.

    Mr Murdochs brothers have also served in the brigade with over 150 years of combined dedication.

    I was working locally for the power board. When the siren went off we just went, he said.

    You never know if it is going to be your mother or fathers property or your son or daughter in an accident.

    I still get anxious when the siren goes off. I dont think that ever leaves you.

    He says a good firefighter needs a desire to help others and to be able to see they can do the world good.

    Over 200 people gathered at the

    station including Northland MP Winston Peters who spoke about the commitment it took to be a volunteer firefighter.

    He congratulated Mr Murdoch and his wife Helen on their service and recognised the efforts of the other members who also received service bars and awards.

    Kaipara District Council representative Peter Marshall said the Kaipara is well served by volunteer groups.

    It is incredible to see the amount of 25-year service people in the crowd tonight.

    A new career choiceu by Ann Morgan

    Krystal Reyland is the winner of the Otamatea High School Kaipara Lifestyler Award for Media Studies.

    The 18-year-old is the top media studies student at the school and has been accepted at Auckland University to begin her nursing degree in 2016 and says the funds will help toward payment for her textbooks.

    Krystal said she had to decide whether to continue with media studies or pursue nursing as a career.

    Theres not much of a link there but I made a pragmatic decision and nursing, as a career with a future won out at this stage in my life.

    Krystal gained Level 2 media with a merit endorsement in 2013 and hopes to at least do the same in Level 3. She believes her media interest has helped with her English and has given her a greater insight into the way the media pervades and influences society.

    People dont understand the impact of the media in our lives or the way it shapes our opinions, said Krystal. Taking media has also helped me

    appreciate the work that goes into the making of films and television and it has also further developed my interest in photography which I plan to continue during my studies.

    Sports awards recognise talentu by Ann Morgan

    The supreme and sportswomen of the year went to Aleisha Pearl Nelson at the 2015 Silver Fern Farms Kaipara District Sports Awards.

    Aleisha lives in the Kaipara and was selected for the New Zealand Black Ferns womens rugby team and competed in the Canada Super Series. They won all three games against Canada, England and the United States to take out the series. She also played for the Auckland Storm womens rugby team which won the National Provincial Championship this year.

    Sportsman of the year went to Matthew Moulds who played four games for the Blues during the Super 15 rugby season and has a full contract with the Blues next season. Matt also co-captained the Northland Taniwha during the ITM cup season.

    Sport NZ Club of the year went to Southern Rugby Club.

    It was a very successful event with approximately 80 nominations. Aleisha travels for every training session with her team and still lives here that is dedication, said Roxanne Kelly of Sport Northland.

    David Hutchinson from Silver Fern Farms said the awards ceremony was absolutely brilliant.

    The young entertainers and the meal were excellent, and I was absolutely inspired by keynote speaker Jason Barrell. It was a fabulous night and one we were very proud to be associated with.

    Showcasingglobal and local effortsu by Ayla Miller

    From organising shelter boxes and emergency response kits for disaster areas to helping local youth learn to read, the efforts of the Rotary Club of Dargaville have touched the lives of many.

    A lot of people are aware of Rotary but dont really know what it is and what we do in the community. Many people probably know we man the gates at the field days but we are so much more than that, and we want to get that message out there, said past president Margaret Bishop.

    The club will have a pop up display of its work on Victoria Street from November 9-13.

    Its the first such move in the 77 years Rotary has been running with the aim of giving people the chance to learn more about the organisation.

    People should come a long to see what it is that we do, both in our community and globally. Our club is involved in sending rescue parcels to places like Vanuatu and we are involved in supporting the international bid to rid the world of polio.

    We do a lot of things with youth as well. Our club has been involved in working with the Selwyn Park children with their reading recovery programme.

    The members who have taken part in this have enjoyed it and the children have benefitted immensely.

    Rotary is also involved with organising inter-school overseas exchanges and sponsor a number of students on these ventures each year.

    We would love to have new people join us and this is a good way for us to get the message out there, says Margaret.

    The showcase will be open between 10am until 3pm in the shop between Blah Blah Blah Cafe and The Shoe Box.

    Matakohe School got up close and personal with one of New Zealands most influential childrens authors, Joy Cowley, last week.

    Mrs Cowley is Matakohe School pupil Ethan Mackies great-grandmother and when Ethans teacher Sara McKinley discovered this connection, she set about getting the children to write a book.

    The students sent their book to Mrs Cowley earlier this year, thus beginning a correspondence.

    Ive been a fan of Joy Cowleys work since I was at university and studied childrens literature, Ms McKinley said. It is an absolute honor to have her here.

    A room of approximately 80 students listened intently to Mrs Cowley telling stories and then had the chance to ask questions.

    I feel like Ive been adopted into the school. I stopped school visits a long time ago so you are all very special, said Mrs Cowley speaking to the group.

    I was a slow reader and I didnt learn to read properly until I was nine years old but I loved stories. I used to draw my stories, as many children do. When she left school she did a

    pharmacy apprenticeship and then went on to start a family. It wasnt until her children were beginning to read that she got into writing.

    The connection with Matakohe School is great and something to celebrate, she said.

    Performing arts on showu by Ann Morgan

    Te Kopuru Schools annual Multicultural Performing Arts Festival will be marking 11 years of community fun on Saturday November 21 starting at 10am.

    We would like to hear from people who are keen to be involved in the days events. The aim is to bring the community together at the school, exposing the childrens different depths of talent and cultures, positive values and attitudes, said principal Lee Anderson.

    We have a big focus on creative arts rather than literacy and numeracy for the day. The children participate in performances such as choir, kapa haka, dance groups, and ukulele. We would like to extend an invitation to singers, bands and choirs, cultural groups and dance ensembles across the district

    to join the celebrations with us.The school believe it is important to interact with the community and give people the opportunity to not just see how well the children perform on stage but also give others the opportunity to showcase the regions creative side.

    There will be a festival atmosphere and people dont have to be skilled to participate. We believe the day is for building confidence and as the younger children start performing in front of others, the easier things get as they grow. For more information on participating or holding a stall phone the school on 09 439 1802

    Familiar face at Associatesu by Ayla Miller

    Past Ruawai College student Ashlee Pocklington, has come the full hairdressing circle, having recently returned to the salon which fostered her love of hair whilst she was still at high school.

    The 26-year-old began her hairdressing career at Associates Hair through a Gateway course before beginning an apprenticeship in Remuera at Headquarters in 2007 and seeing out her final year at Addiction Hair Salon in Whangarei.

    Once she was qualified, she moved to New South Wales, Australia with her partner and worked in the industry there gaining experience.

    Now she has returned to the Kaipara to be close to her family and is currently living on her parents dairy farm.

    It is nice to come back home and to see some familiar faces, she said.

    I chose hairdressing as a career because I enjoy making people feel good about themselves.

    Everyone loves getting their hair done. It is such a nice feeling afterwards and I like to be able to

    give that to people. She says she is pleased to be back in a smaller town and is looking forward to getting to know her clients.

    p Ashlee Pocklington is looking forward to working amongst a smaller community again

    Crackdown on car parkingu by Ann Morgan

    Parking wardens are now employed in Dargaville as the Kaipara District Council takes a strong stance on parking in the town.

    People are tired of seeing cars parked illegally in the business district and have been asking us to ramp up our patrols in the area, says acting general manager regulatory and planning, Ken Swanepoel.

    Environmental Northland Limited are the contractors and parking wardens are now working in the Dargaville CBD monitoring parking at various times throughout the day.

    The Council is also focussing on those who park on yellow lines so that residents can park safely. We are looking for wider community support for the increased patrols as well, said Mr Swanepoel.

    The contractors will be focussing particularly on Victoria Street and by the pharmacy, but that doesnt mean motorists can get away with illegal parking elsewhere.

    Motorists taking liberties on yellow lines and using parking for the disabled are going to find its a lot tougher to get away with as the Council responds to increasing complaints.

    Yellow lines are there for a reason, to ensure our residents can park safely and prevent accidents. Equally,

    Familiar feature gets makeoveru by Ayla Miller

    A tram that has spent 57 years on a property on Mount Wesley Coast Road, Dargaville, is set to be restored to its former glory at the Museum of Transport and Technology in Auckland.

    The old No. 235 tram, visible from the road opposite the entrance to Harding Park, has been shifted to the Packard and Pioneer Museum in Maungatapere until a space is prepared for its restoration at MOTAT.

    Light Rail Transit Association representative member for Auckland and resident doctor at Whangarei Hospital Dr Vincent Chan has bought the tram and his twin brother Leyton, an engineer and MOTAT volunteer, will restore it with the aim of having it running as a tourist attraction in Auckland City.

    The tram was built by the Auckland Transport Board and entered service in 1931. It was in service until the last day of the trams in December 1956. It was used mainly on the Onehunga tram route and it is a 1930 class tram which signifies it was built entirely of Kauri, says Dr Chan.

    The previous 1929 Class trams used a metal-plywood composite for the body which deteriorated in Aucklands humid climate.

    p Leyton and Vincent Chan in front of the No. 235 tram as it is loaded onto the truck for its big move

    No. 235 was designed and built in Auckland and was moved to Dargaville by Don Elliot of Te Kopuru, who is now president of the Dargaville Museum, on May 13, 1957 to be used as a greenhouse.

    It is the only tram of its kind that is still restorable. Most of the original drawings have been handed over to us. A lot of them had been kept in private collection.

    Dr Chan says the solid roof has saved it from too much damage and he is currently sourcing running gear and parts.

    dedicated parking for those with disabilities is provided so they are not disadvantaged as they go about their daily activities. When motorists break the law they can expect to be issued with infringement notices, he says.

    We want to make it easy and safe for the public to park so people can enjoy their day out in Dargaville whether theyre carrying out business or shopping. We will appreciate the communitys support as well, so that everyone can benefit.

    There were 14 infringements issued last week for parking on a disabled space without a permit. We have six parks for disabled people in Dargaville.

    p Parking rules are being enforced in Dargaville

    Christmas cow chaos on stageu by Andy Bryenton

    Dargaville Little Theatre is the venue for a surprising showcase of storybook stars this festive season, as the man in red himself, jolly old Santa Claus, holds auditions for his Christmas Pantomime.

    The tradition of a fun, music-filled comical play for the holidays goes back over 100 years, and Santa (who still insists that hes not a day over forty-nine) has seen them all. Now, alongside such luminaries as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, the Big Bad Wolf, Red Riding Hood, Prince Charming and more, Saint Nick is trying to pick a winner in what seems a bit like Christmas Idol 2015.

    I remember when many of these acts got their big break, back with the Grimm Brothers fairy tales, says Santa. Some have had their own feature films, and they all worked well as an ensemble cast for Shrek but this time theres been a bit of chaos. I blame Jacks cow, but you will get a bit of tension when princesses, dwarves, wolves and all have to share one dressing room. A lot of hard work has been put in by the cast

    and crew behind the scenes as well as out on stage. Comedy carols have been penned by our local festive scribes, and the Dargaville locals are putting in long hours of practice to bring Santas vision to life.

    All my helpers make the nice list, of course, he says. But this town really has some Christmas spirit! The big days to see my Christmas Pantomime and to see which big fairy tale act takes away the grand prize are the 6th, 12th and 13th of December.

    Meanwhile the authorities are still trying to discover the whereabouts of Jacks cow. Recent rehearsals at the Dargaville Little Theatre have been

    disrupted by the escaped cow, who has insulted both of Cinderellas stepsisters and chewed on a valuable shoe belonging to Prince Charming. Santa has deployed special Elf Capture Teams

    to apprehend the dancing friesian on the night. I ho ho hope they manage, says Santa. But really, Im thinking of letting the cow audition too. Its going to be a great show.

    Still the best under the treeIn this age of high powered gaming consoles and smart phones, its a surprise to see an old favourite still tops the list of most wanted kids presents.

    ADVERTOR IA L

    While this years big requests with a power cord attached include the likes of Xbox One and radio controlled quad-rotor helicopters, the preferred wish when it comes to non-powered toys is not really a toy at all. Its a new bike.

    The perennial favourite since post World War Two, a bike means more than just fun and games. To kids, its transportation, exercise, freedom and responsibility rolled into one. It opens up new opportunities, and begins the process of learning good road manners for future drivers.

    Here in Dargaville, Randells Motorcycles are also the home of bikes with pedals instead of pistons. As the experts in bikes from kids tricycles through to rugged downhill racing bikes for adults they recommend safety first as a good approach to buying a bike for under the tree.

    Buy a known brand of bicycle, to be sure of quality.

    Good welds, tight bolts and sturdy construction are more than just a bonus when your childs safety is in question they are paramount. A good bike should have smoothly

    operating mechanical parts, and ideally should be assembled in-store by a professional not to deride dads skills with a wrench, but the expert touch can save headaches later.

    There should also be a few other presents to unwrap along with a new bike a new

    helmet, as well as a strong pair of shoes, and even elbow and knee protection for those who are learning to ride for the first time. Specialist equipment for BMX off roaders, downhill racers and more are all available to complement the perfect package.

    Sharing with localsu by Ann Morgan

    Hayden Kerrisk had an idea for selling excess fruit and vegetables small scale local gardeners have in the surrounding Wellsford area, to those in the community who would appreciate fresh produce sourced from quality growers.

    I put word out and New Zealands Patch came to fruition. The first delivery took place within ten weeks of establishing the company. The growers earn a good portion of the sales this is helping everyone get started and we are very excited about this venture, said Hayden.

    Gardeners often have excess produce which goes to waste or has to be given away but I thought there was a business opportunity for them as growing your own food does cost.

    Selling through New Zealands Patch is a good incentive and this means consumers can purchase freshly picked produce from a reliable quality source.

    He visits potential suppliers and works with a professional consultant on each garden ensuring guidelines are met. He takes photos and writes a personal profile which goes on the company website and these growers

    I musta lookt a bit puzzild, and Sharlene had juss come over wiv smoko.

    Hear, she sed. Mum has baked sum scons. (Sharlenes Mum, my mate wot feeds me pork cracklin from there roasts.) She was staying ona farm cos she hates bluddy fire crackas wen its Guy Forks in town. I no wot she meens. Some bloke chucked a cracka at me wen I was a pup. Sum peeple is ideeits eh? Or juss stoopid, wantin; to play wiv fire. But enyway, Boss an his ticket.

    See Billy, Sharlene went on. For ever, we been able ter park in Dargyville fer shoppin an we didint have to wurry. But as ya no, the kouncil is reel short of

    The Dargaville High School and the Board of Trustees would like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors for their generous Donations and Gifts. Without the Community behind us our prizegiving for 2015 would not have been such a successful event.
